A Sweet Celebration: National Donut Day 2026
Each year, the first Friday of June is eagerly awaited by donut aficionados across the United States. National Donut Day, which falls on June 5th in 2026, is more than just an excuse to indulge in these delightful confections. It is a celebration of history, community, and the simple joy of sharing a sweet treat with friends and family.
Originating in 1938, National Donut Day was established by the Salvation Army to honor the "Doughnut Lassies" who served these pastries to soldiers during World War I. This day has since evolved into a cherished occasion for donut lovers nationwide to explore new flavors, revisit favorite shops, and create lasting memories.
In 2026, major chains like Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme, along with local bakeries, are joining the celebration, offering free donuts and special promotions. Read more about participating locations here.
